And if they say they didn’t see 692,000 bites counted properly, so what? It’s not like they throw those votes out. The remedy would be to recount those votes. That’s it.

And if I were Bill I would have said as much. He was being too kind.

Even not listening, I could see Bill got totally owned by this piece of trump trash.

She talked non-stop, Bill could hardly get a word in edgewise, she constantly smirked and chuckled, KNOWING she was totally killing Bill with the gop method of talk over and don't stop. Bill looked completely overwhelmed. And this went on for almost 20 minutes.

Although the panel made some good points, mostly it devolved into how WE need to compromise, reach across the aisle, etc etc. Why is it always US that has to compromise? Sorry, but there is no compromising on a women's choice, the right to marry, or the insistence of my total acceptance to their religious bigotry. Not happening.

Which all goes back to the fact that we are piss-poor at messaging. I agree the "defund police" meme and the videos of protest violence caused us to lose seats. For those who aren't as politically astute, "defund the police" sounds like "eliminate the police", and NO ONE WANTS THAT. Violence is never acceptable while protesting. The protesters should have made sure there were videos of the perpetrators, AND made sure they were held accountable. That would have gone a long way towards negating the image that all protesters are violent thugs.

More and more I am disgusted when Bill is over, rather than hopeful.

After the first five minutes of her gish galloping schtick, he should have ended the segment and let the panel have the extra minutes. Instead, he got used.

Then when Max Brooks was about to make a point about what Gen. Mark Tilley told him off record and how it pertained to possible safeguards against a Trump coup, Maher interrupted him and never let Brooks finish his story. Very frustrating.
